Advancing provincial and territorial public health capacity for health equity: Proceedings

The proceedings from the Advancing provincial and territorial public health capacity for health equity event provide an overview of a May 2014 pan-Canadian meeting of senior leaders and decision-makers in public health.

This two-day workshop gave participants an opportunity to learn together, by sharing new research and exchanging promising practices, as well stimulating more integrated provincial/territorial action to address inequities. Findings from the event are being used to facilitate further conversations about developing a common agenda for equity in public health.
